The bartender stared at him curiously but didn’t dare speak. Barbara laughed. “I know. It’s probably not great to suddenly become a father.”The bartender placed the bottle on the bar, and Francisco immediately drank from the bottle, gulp after gulp.Even people who had high alcohol tolerance wouldn’t be able to handle drinking that much whisky.Seeing that he was drinking too much, Barbara said, “Mr. Boucher, you should slow down with that. If you get picked up by some chick, it would be hard for me to explain to Maisie. This is her place.”Francisco was already drunk, but he was surprised. “Whose place?”She was hesitant. “Don’t you know that Maisie is the owner of Glitz?”Francisco asked her, “Isn’t my cousin the owner?”Barbara was rendered speechless.Francisco suddenly laughed. “You didn’t know?”Barbara didn’t say anything. She had been under the impression that Maisie had taken over the club. Why did it suddenly belong to Helios?’After half an hour…Francisco slum
Barbara wasn’t a skinny woman but quite a voluptuous one, so the towel didn’t cover up much.She noticed something, turned around, and stared straight into his eyes.Barbara was so shocked she grabbed onto the loose towel that was about to slip. “Ah!”Helios immediately turned around. “I”m sorry! I didn’t know that you…” He gulped but was glad he had his back toward her. It wasn’t that he had never seen female actresses in shower scenes during his filming career, and he had to interact with actresses when they were in their bikinis, but he never had unclean thoughts about them. But this ‘incident’ made him feel something!Barbara wrapped the towel around herself. Her face flushed, and she felt awkward. “Do you need help, Mr. Boucher?”He didn’t turn around but instead handed the bag to her. “I apologize on behalf of Francisco. We only have uniforms here. This is new. You can wear it for now.”Barbara walked over and took the bag. She was happy that she had something to wear.
When the case was retried, she just wanted the Salvadores to be convinced of her innocence and didn’t care if they were going to retaliate. Helios sent her home. She got out and walked into her apartment building without looking back.After getting into her apartment building and walking into the elevator, she turned around. The car was still there. She felt warm, thinking that he wanted to see her safely home. When the elevator got to her floor, she walked out and saw a woman standing in the hallway. It was Katrina, so Barbara was stunned. “Why are you here?”Katrina was leaning against the wall with heavy makeup and holding a lit cigarette. “Why can’t I come and see you?”Barbara was quiet. Katrina blew smoke out and looked at her. “I’m your half-sister. I just have worse luck because my father will never admit that I’m his. You forced me into this situation. Can’t you share my problems?”Barbara frowned. “I forced you?”She smiled. “Why didn’t you think about this when yo
“I hated you, and I hated the Chases. I wanted to take revenge, with Eugene or Peter’s help, but why…”Katrina grabbed onto Barbara’s arm and completely lost her mind, “Why was Ian so cruel to me? I slept with him, did you know? But he just used me as a pawn. He opened up Glitz and still treated me cruelly because of you. He let his men assault me, but why weren’t you the one who was assaulted!?”Barbara’s arm hurt because of her grip. Suddenly, someone appeared and pushed Katrina away. She lost her footing and fell to the floor.Barbara looked at Helios, who suddenly appeared next to her. “You’re still here!?”Helios honestly answered, “I saw her from downstairs, so I came over to check.”He was about to leave when he looked up and saw someone by the window, so he stayed. He didn’t know why.Katrina stood up and started laughing. “Yelena, you’re quite good at this. You’ve managed to seduce Mr. Boucher.”“Shut your mouth!” Barbara stared at her fiercely. “Not everyone thinks lik
Helios was stunned as he looked at her in confusion.Barbara said drunkenly, “Because I knew Katrina was with your uncle. I wanted to get revenge on her, so I exposed the scandal between her and your uncle. Also, I was the one who leaked the news to your mother about the gem-hunting event.”“I see,” Helios replied half-heartedly.If Barbara had not exposed the scandal, not only him, the entire Boucher family wouldn’t have learned that Eugune had been keeping a woman outside behind everyone else’s back.Barbara asked again, “I’m the one who caused your uncle and aunt to get a divorce. Do you not resent me?”Helios chuckled helplessly. “You’re drunk.”“Helios…” Barbara suddenly went closer to Helios. Her blurry gaze seemed to have cleared up a bit.Helios looked at her without moving away. He did not like being near drunk people, but the smell of alcohol on her was not very offensive to him.After a short while, she smiled and said, “You know what? You’re pretty good.”Helios fr
Maisie did not know when it happened, but Nolan was all she had in her eyes by the time she realized it. After Nolan finished preparing the breakfast, Maisie rested her chin on her palm and looked at her husband longingly, “Honey, seeing how much I cooperated with you last night and this morning, shouldn't you say yes already?”Nolan put the sunny side up on her plate and replied, “I’ll consider.”Maisie put her hands down and sat up straight. “What? Why do you still need to consider it?”“Hmm?” He lifted his eyebrows and put a cup of warm milk on the table. “It depends on your performance for the next few days. If I’m happy, maybe I’ll say yes.”In order to make it work, Maisie had no other choice but to gnash her teeth and nod. Seeing Maisie's sullen appearance, Nolan asked, “Are you not jealous to have your husband shoot an endorsement like that with another man?”“Jealous? Why should I? Both of you are… Well, this is different. You guys are like brothers, and I don’t see a
Both of them had created quite a commotion on the Internet with the “HeliosxNolan” when they were at Winston Island. Now that they had appeared in front of the public together, all of their fans were beyond excited.Sticking his hand in the pocket, Helios said, “I thought you were going to say no.”Nolan glanced at him and replied, “Honestly, I really wanted to.”After that, he went into the lobby first.Helios chuckled and followed after him.There were so many fans gathered outside of Soul, causing the employees of the opposite and adjacent stores to come out and join in the fun.“I heard that Soul Jewelry invited a movie star to shoot an endorsement. Isn't that awesome?”“Not only a movie star. Have you forgotten about Mr. Goldmann? After all, the owner of Soul Jewelry is Mr. Goldmann's wife. I'm so jealous of them. It's no wonder that their business is so good.”Kennedy and the shooting crew were waiting for them in the lobby. When Maisie saw both of them appear at the same
They came all the way to an empty corridor. Nolan pinned her on the way, leaned closer to her, and planted a deep kiss on her lips. “It seems to me that you’re having a lot of fun, huh? Zee, do you still want to do something like this again in the future?”Maisie’s chest was heaving up and down vigorously. Her eyes were misted over as she pouted and said, “Nope. I’m not going to do something like this anymore.”‘He's so bad. He just knows how to take advantage of the opportunity to bully me. But I love it.’Nolan stroked her eyes with his finger and chuckled. “Now that you’re satisfied, it should be my turn, right?”Although she knew what Nolan was implying, she still couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. “Not now.”He leaned closer and whispered into her ear, “How about tonight?”Maisie wrapped her arms around his neck, looked at him straight, and offered him a wide smile. “Since you’re being so cooperative today, let me do it tonight.”Nolan chuckled hoarsely and kissed her eyeb
